Everyone is so different in terms of what they like so it's hard to know what you'll like! Do you have close friends/relatives that you can talk to and maybe see some items for yourself??
In general, I registered for a range of things to give everyone a chance to get stuff. Some of the bigger stuff either people won't get or several people can pool together to get it for you. I registered for things like:
Bottles
Pump parts
A few toys
Floor play mat
Crib bedding
Bassinet/co-sleeper
Baby carrier
Bouncer
My Brest Friend nursing pillow
A few blankets and Halo sleep sacks
That's all I can think of now... Hope that helped a little!

i was told to ask for everything and see what happens. What we get we are thankful for and we will have to take care of the rest. It's the first baby on my side of the family and I know he will be spoiled. I was told not to put clothes on the registry b/c people will end up getting you clothes anyway. I still put a few cute outfits on there- couldn't help it. I did put two car seats on there and and two different strollers since he will grow really quickly. I tried to find things that were quality products but reasonably priced. The car seats are for when he is an infant and then when he outgrows it and has to get the toddler size. I already know I'm having two showers so I hope that I get a gift card from coworkers or they chip in for one gift- the second car seat. I already know my MIL is getting the infant car seat with the stroller attachment. The other stroller is the umbrella stroller for when he outgrows the carrier. I didn't ask for a stroller system b/c I was told they are very bulky and hard to manage.

These are just things I registered for. I figured I will register for anything I may possibly need. I dont get it then oh well. Nice thing is some places give you coupons to buy the suff you dont get on your registry after! I remember getting a 20% off coupon for everything that I didnt get after my wedding so I would think it would work the same way with a baby shower.

We went a little crazy when we registered...we had just found out we the gender and I let me dh have the scanner (should have learned my lesson after our wedding registry) we registered for 160 items...lots of duplicates on the little things and I am pretty sure every item that said I love daddy...lol...but that bring said we are going to be having 3 showers between work and either side of our families :)

I put a wide range of items on mine and at all price points so there is something for everyone. I am asking family directly for help with the big ticket items. Since I'm having a small shower I figure most of it will not be purchased and I'll just buy as much as I can afterwards.
